James Tarkowski -
To be fair to Tarks I think he's been an unhappy bunny since Warbgate in February but he doesn't seem to have let it affect his game.
What makes you think this?

In all seriousness Dyche has said on many occasions that he always tries to conduct his business in the right manner.
I believe that (if it has actually happened) that £2.3 million was a fair starting point but if your main man has said to us that it's £5 million, then you won't get any dirty tricks off our mob. We will move on but it will be down to Tarkowski and his agent as to whether they make enough noise (if they are making any noise at all) for us to come back in with an increased bid.
No it isn't....but it will be down to Tarkowski and his agent as to whether they make enough noise (if they are making any noise at all) for us to come back in with an increased bid.
Surely the right way is you enquire about the player and only approach him if given permission. and only then if you want to pay the price? I would've thought a bid which you know is likely to be rejected which is then made public constitutes a dirty trick.

It's incredibly naive to think that clubs go asking for permission to bid for a player. I wouldn't even say that it is a modern day thing either.
It's also highly unlikely (in fact it won't happen) for a club to tell another club how much it would take to get a player that they don't want to sell.
Tarkowski would have known about the Burnley interest well before January, and Burnley would have known whether Tarkowski wants a move well before January.

Yes, I know that clubs break the rules. I'm not that naive. You seemed to suggest though that everything you did was fine and dandy and above board - it wasn't, you broke the rules like everyone else. Stop painting your club as paragons of virtue who are fabulously well run and honourable in your dealings - you do the dirty sh*t like anyone else. We do after all know how you ex Director of Football operated.
So we haven't unsettled the player by putting in a low bid knowing that Benham has sent us a price list?
That's what is being said on here, and that's the dirty tricks I mean.

Burnley" Your player who isn't for sale wants to move because he's worth more than you can pay him now. We think he's worth £2.3M take it or leave it"
Bees" You f***** Northern Monkeys, he doesn't decide if he moves. We don't want to sell him he has 18 months on his contract that he was quick enough to sign not so long ago to escape a Northern shi*hole.
Read my lips, I don't need to sell so If he really wants to go you need to find £5M. Goodbye."

My client would like to know if you're interested in securing his services, as you were interested when he was employed by Oldham?
Yes we are interested, we shall make a bid
We would like to bid £2.3 million for your Northenmonkey centre half please?
He's not for sale, but we'll take £5 million for him. Oh bugger, silly me. I didn't mean to say that last bit. Please ignore everything I said after he's not for sale. Thank you.

....no idea if your club is serious about getting tarks or not.......be interesting to see who he starts for on the 15th......looking forward to seeing gray again mind.....we did ok with his sale......as i'm sure you will when everton come calling.
He'll still be playing for the home side I think.
Gray will still be with us in February as no Premier League club is going to take a punt at the price wanted for a player that hasn't played in the Premier League.
Unless they're mental that is, but Everton aren't.
.....whats his current valuation?.....and having been there recently.....do you think he would cut it in the top league....vardy's done ok coming through the ranks?
His current valuation is invaluable to us at the moment.
I don't think he's ready for the Premier League just yet. He can get there I'm sure but his all round game needs improving to make it.
...hope he does.....but i'm not sure it will be with barnsley.
You're not sure but I can guarantee it won't be with Barnsley.
Or Brentwood.
Good as of the 3 potential departures I think he will go furthest

Yeah trying to take the piss. They all see us as such a small club. They took the piss out of Benham as did some of our own fans accusing him of being a power crazed Iron fisted owner. MB says you can have our players , but you pay what we think they are worth. Not what you think they are worth. matthew has stopped clubs like Hull & Burnley from taking the piss out of us. and Brentford fc is going from strength to strength under his leadership. Happy days , yeah we will lose our valueable players in time, but we lose them at a realistic price.
.....apologies....i meant blackburn of course.
OOOOHH that's below the belt. You shouldn't be so harsh on the internet.
I'll probably require some form of counselling now and no doubt I'll start comfort eating and balloon to 20 stone, whilst being addicted to horse tranquilisers.
Before you know it I'll be on Jeremy Kyle wearing a straw hat with my eyes pointing in opposite directions, all because of your post.

Apparently Van Gaal has rejected loan bids for Paddy McNair from Burnley, Fulham, Bleakboon and Wolves.
Maybe we have moved on from Tarkowski?

Anyone checked the Burnley squad.
Wont be anywhere near our squad as he is not needed would
why come on here then ?....Wont be anywhere near our squad as he is not needed would love to sign judge though

If he goes he needs to be replaced. O'Connell not ready yet.
